3 Tbsp. butter
4 lbs. chuck roast
1 onion, chopped
6 c. brewed coffee
2 c. canned mushrooms
3 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 bags of frozen mixed vegetables like beans or zucchini. Do not include carrots or potatoes.
How To:
Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in large sauce pan over medium-high heat. Add roast and sear on all sides until well browned; set aside.
In the same saucepan, melt the remaining butter, add the salt and onions and saute for 5 minutes. Return the meat to the saucepan and pour in the coffee and the mushrooms.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 hours, turning meat over halfway through cooking time.
To make gravy, remove a cup of the coffee mixture, combine with cornstarch, stirring until smooth, and return to simmering pan. Mix well, remove from heat and serve.
Meanwhile, steam or boil mixed vegetables to serve on the side.
